  • New topics must:
    • Be unique: Topic must not already be sufficiently covered by a previous motivation and motivation book chapter. Search before making a proposal. How does the proposed topic build on, or differ from, previous work?
    • Align with the project theme: Topic must be related to related to motivation or emotion and fit the overarching book theme which is to help people to understand and improve their motivational and emotional lives using psychological science
    • Have appropriate scope: If the topic is too narrow, or if there is a lack of psychological theory and research, it will be difficult to satisfy the marking criteria
